Are holidays important?
Since March 17th, people in the UK were only allowed to travel to other countries if the journey was essential. Anyone who returned to the UK was also required to self-isolate at home for 14 days. A new traffic light system, recently launched, means countries have been given a green, amber or red light depending on the number of coronavirus cases there, allowing people to potentially have a summer holiday this year. All passengers have to wear face coverings on planes and ferries
Listen, think, share
Look at this week’s poster and talk about your experiences of holidays. Have you ever been on holiday? If you have, where did you go? If not, talk about where you might like to go, or any trips or visits you have particularly enjoyed. If you had to describe what you think a holiday is to someone, how might you describe it? Think about how our definitions about what a holiday is may be different depending on our own experiences.
Have you missed being able to travel or go to different places during the lockdown period? Think about some of the reasons that we think people choose to go on holiday.
Some people much prefer spending spare time at home rather than going on holiday. Which do you prefer? Talk about your reasons.
Read through the information found on the assembly resource showing a timeline of the recent restrictions and changes.
Talk through the reasons why we have these changes and rules in current times. Watch this week’s useful video below, which talks through some of the recent changes to travel. Are you pleased that people are able to travel more now?
Reflection For some, holidays can be a chance to escape from everyday pressures in our lives. For others, a rest from work and having the time to do things they enjoy is just the break they need. We are all different and have different ways to relax.

Do you need to travel to have a holiday?
Listen, think, share
Think about holiday destinations. What countries do you hear people often visit? What types of places e.g. the coast, mountains, campsites? Make a list.
How do people get to the holiday destinations you listed? Discuss modes of transport they may use e.g. car, train, aeroplane, ferry, bus. Does where the holiday destination is, affect your travel choices e.g. if you were travelling abroad, would going in an aeroplane be better? Would it ever be possible to walk to a holiday destination?
Why do you think people go on holiday? If you have been on holiday before, why did you go? Look at resource 2, which shares more information about holidays and why we have them. Do we need to travel to go on holiday? Could one person’s definition of a holiday differ to another’s?
What would be your dream holiday? Where would you go? Would it involve travelling a long way or not? What activities would you do? Who would you go with? What would you need to pack? Do you think everybody enjoys holidays? Why?
Reflection
A holiday can mean different things to different people. Often it involves some travel as we enjoy a break away. However, this is not always the case and for some of us, the best holiday
